The author has identified the following significant results. The best dates for automatic data processing analysis appeared to be in midsummer. The level 2 separation of grassland, water, and other resources was reasonably successful, but the level 3 separation of grassland into cultivated (growing crops) and weeds did not appear feasible. Low simulated inventory proportions of grassland indicated that the restricted inventory signature was not representative of all grassland classes and could not be extended with acceptable accuracy.

A preliminary training guide for utilizing high-altitude, color-infrared photography in compiling soil maps
Instruction for acquiring and analytically processing small-scale color-infrared photography to perform a soil resources inventory over forests of the southern U.S. is provided. Planning the project; acquiring aerial photography, materials, equipment and supplemental data; and preparing the photography for analysis are discussed. The procedures for preparing ancillary and primary component overlays are discussed. The use of correlation charts and dichotomous keys for mountain landforms, water regime, and vegetation is explained.
